NEXT CHAPTER. Sorry the last one was so short...
And I'm also sorry for releasing this late at night.
"So, how do you like your Chili dogs?" Terrell said as he was stirring the Chili.
"I kind of liked them the way Sonic made them." Tails said, looking at his son from the table. "And shouldn't I be the one cooking? After all, I'm your father."
"Nah, I like to cook, It's fun for me." Terrell said as he poured the Chili into a mixture of vegetables.
"I feel so irresponsible..." Tails said, hanging his head.
"Daddy, you're not irresponsible. You don't have to do every single thing around here to be responsible. Besides, you should be teaching me how to take care of myself." Terrell said as he poured the mixture into a few hotdog buns.
"I still feel immature for breaking down like that in my garage. It's just that I miss Cosmo so much. I murdered her... I-I murdered her..." Tails said, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Daddy, tell me the whole story." Terrell said as he put the Chili dogs on a plate and walked over to his father.
"Well, It was thirteen years ago, Me and my friends were at home frolicking like usual, when a strange pod slammed into the ground during a meteor shower. It opened, and inside it was a strange, injured plant-like girl. We took her home, and she woke up, and told us her name was Cosmo. She told us about the Metarex, before one attacked, trying to take the planet egg. Fortunately, I had built the Blue Typhoon, a starship, and escaped with everyone. We then set out for the Chaos emeralds that Sonic had scattered across the galaxy to prevent Dark Oak from taking them. We Traveled from planet to planet, fighting through several hazards to get the Chaos Emeralds. The problem was, Dark Oak got them first, and transformed into a being made of plants on a planet of pure water. He spat out the Chaos emeralds, their power drained. Sonic Re-activated them with the power of courage, and transformed into Super Sonic. He tried to push back the immense gravity field with Shadow, but couldn't. That was when Cosmo came through. She floated through the gravity field to the planet, and transformed into a tree on top of it. She was immobilizing Dark Oak, and I had a clear shot. But I couldn't shoot Cosmo, I just couldn't. She told me that it was for the good of the universe, and that her clan would be revived. I hesitantly pressed the trigger, and the cannon fired, destroying itself in the process. Sonic and Shadow hurled torwards the planet in a yellow blast. They collided with the planet, and it was destroyed, along with Dark Oak and Cosmo.
But it was me who shot her..."
Tails shut his eyes and clenched his teeth, tears dripping from his eyes.
"Daddy, you didn't murder her, She sacrificed her life for the good of the Universe. It's not your fault." Terrell said, setting the Chili dogs in front of his father.
Tails picked up a Chili dog and took a bite out of it. He had never assumed his son could cook so well, although he seemed like he could, but now he was sure. Terrell looked at him with concerned eyes.
"Like it?" Terrel asked with a smile as his father finished off his last Chili dog.
Tails said nothing, still sobbing.
"Daddy... It's okay..." Terrall said in a soothing voice.
"How can I call myself fit for a child when I have to rely on said child to comfort me at times of sadness?..." Tails said, his voice shaking. "I'm afraid of being judged unfit for a child, and you being sent off to an orphanage, simply because I can't handle painful memories..." Tails broke down crying and slammed his head on the table, causing various objects to leap into the air. "I-I don't want to lose you!!"
Terrell placed his hand on the back of his father's head. "Don't worry, you won't lose me..." Terrell said in a soothing voice. "I will always be there for you..."
Tails stopped wailing and started to whimper. He lifted his head from the puddle of tears on the table and looked at his son. Tails threw his arms around him, softly crying into his shoulder.
"Shhh... It's all going to be okay..." Terrell said soothingly as he comforted his father with his tails.
"Miles?"
Tails didn't move from his position, but Terrell turned his head to look at the source of the voice; Tails's wife, Jade. She looked somewhat like Tails, with her two tails and all, but her fur was peach-colored and she had golden eyes.
"Miles?" She said again, a hint of concern in her voice. "Are you oka-"
"Shhh." Terrell said quietly. "He's having some emotional pain right now, don't speak to him."
"Okay." Jade said quietly.
After about 5 minutes, Tails stopped whimpering, and released the hug. He got up and walked back to his garage, his head hanging a little. He looked back at the two vulpines with sad, bloodshot eyes before closing the door behind him.
Yusss... Another Cliffhanger, so GIMMEH MOAR REVIEWS.
